AVOIDING THE KILLER’S TOUCH.

If your eyes were to be opened to see the devil fill an “application form” seeking to gain entrance into any life to subdue it; what you are likely to see him fill as his occupation is “a thief, a killer and a destroyer”.
The Bible says in John 10:10 –
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”.

This is what he goes to and fro the whole earth doing. Praise God still; there are those that have been divinely equipped and pronounced as untouchable. When God accosted him concerning the life of the man Job; he was caught moving to and fro the earth in his destructive kind of occupation; but the man Job remained an impossible task for him to execute, because of the hedge God had built around him. In the devil’s words, seeking to respond to God concerning the integrity of Job; he told God –
_ “Hast not Thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side” (Job 1:10)._
Child of god; do you know there is an hedge of protection around you and around all that is yours? The Bible says in Psalm 125:2-3, that,
_ “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth even forever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous”._
One reason why the rod of the wickedness cannot survive upon your life and anything of yours is because of the hedge of God round about you. one primary duty you have to perform before God, is that of working to preserve the hedge of God’s protection that is round about you. the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 10:8 –
“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him”.
The serpent cannot bite unless the hedge is broken.
One hedge breaker we see clearly in Scriptures is sin and that is why we are enjoined by God’s Word to flee every appearance of evil. You are to flee from sin with n unrivaled kind of swiftness. One way to avoid the killer’s touch is to maintain a life of purity.
The power of purity is the power the killer respects. He works to rubbish your life of purity in order to be able to effect a touch. Balaam told Balak that the only way to be able to effect the destruction of the Israelites, was to get them to sin against God. sin opens you up to the devil like no other thing does. Keeping your garments spotless and white as snow, is an enhancer of the power you have against the killer’s touch.
